Hoping Brown and Richards find their game tonight. They destroyed the Nucks in the playoffs so this would be a good game for them to get things going again.
I hope he singlehandedly kills them. That GDT is a disgrace, not only making fun of Brown's lisp but stealing the template for the GDT. Who else does that?

Oh I dunno. They root for a team full of hair pulling, finger biting, somersaulting, whiny, ugly clone looking muthers. It's kind of expected.
Dustin Brown was asked to provide a prediction for tonight's game with regard to Henrik Sedin. His response:
"Predicthion? Painth!!!"
Seriously, I did gain a new level of respect for Sedin when he got up from that hit and played as well as he did after that. His comments afterward were classy as well when he said it was a clean hit.
You don't get that from some players around the league, like say Shane Doan and Mike Smith.
Hoping for a good game tonight. Luongo will get the start in goal for this one, as Schneider played in last night's debacle for Vancouver.
I imagine our issues are fairly similar to the ones plaguing the Kings right now - rust, misreads and general fatigue. A lot of the Canucks didn't play during the lockout, and it looks like they are suffering for that. The guys playing the best are the ones who played in the AHL or Europe (Kassian, Tanev, Raymond, etc.)
As far as I'm concerned, our biggest issue has been the blueline. Ballard and Tanev have been great, but that's equally a compliment to them and a concern for the top four. Garrison and Edler have been hit and miss, and Bieksa and Hamhuis have been outright terrible - if they have another game like that, it could be easy for the Kings to exploit.
The forwards have been marginally better. The Twins haven't looked dangerous five-on-five (PP has been strong, but not excellent). Burrows and Higgins could be a lot better as well.
Anyway - I think this will be a feisty affair, as both of these teams loathed each other already and the Kings have some brand new and well earned bragging rights to strut. Hopefully it's a good game.

Those are our issues as well. Taking dumb penalties has been a major factor too. I am a little worried about tonight because our defense is looking quite thin, hopefully we'll win and get to brag a little more

Good early season test for both teams as both clubs should be hungry for a win and need one. The Kings need to stay out of the box and get their cycle game going to break down the Canucks' defense.
The key to a Kings' win is their depth up front IMO.
